Yoshie,

If you would like to see an attempt to apply complexity theory to the views
of Marx and Engels on the nature of future communist society, check out:

I have recently cut the polemical material out of my "Self-Organizing
Moneyless
Economy (S.O.M.E.) Hypothesis" and in the process reduced it from about
95,000 words to about 20,000.  It should also be easier to read.

I believe that it does represent an advance over many current conceptions.
